…but I think that if you sit down to write up your own “Top 10 Corporate Moments in Rock,” it’ll look a lot like the one compiled by the folks at Earvolution.com.

The rest of the groovy scene on Tom Snyder’s “Tomorrow” show.
Here’s some fun for you people. This is some vintage must-see mania from the late ’70s when KISS appeared on Tom Snyder’s show. Ace is completely blotto and hilarious, and Peter Criss can’t stop cracking up, either. All this much to Gene Simmons’ chagrin, naturally. Just dig his reactions. And truly, has anyone ever had a better laugh than Frehley?

Bestival is setting up its lineup for what it calls “three days and three nights of music and merry mayhem” and that you can expect “hoe downs, high times, tea cakes, techno, folk and everything in between.” Sounds like a few days of music, smelly people and drugs to me. Announced headliners for the September 7-9 festival are The Chemical Brothers and the Beastie Boys.
So tonight’s “American Idol” results show featured a group performance that was slightly better than last week, but still typically annoying. The group did “Joy To the World” and all I could think is that Sundance Head is one big bullfrog.
Then the guys were lined up and as always, Ryan Seacrest sent them back to the pack one by one:
Phil, Chris Sligh, Sundance (ugg), Blake and Jared all were safe. The first to go? Nick Pedro. Looks like America didn’t “Vote for Pedro” as he had pleaded for them to. Simon reiterated that Nick is a good singer but lacked charisma, and in the end that’s what did him in.
Then the girls were up. Staying in Hollywood: Stephanie, Gina, Sabrina, and Melinda (duh!). Then Alaina was sent packing. This wasn’t a huge surprise to most people, but it was somewhat humorous to watch Alaina try to sing her way out while crying. She literally could not get the words out.
Then we were treated to a performance by one of last season’s finalists, Kellie Pickler. Kellie has been turned into a country star and announced that she was going to be touring in support of her gold album, supporting Brad Paisley. Also in attendance were Kellie’s new boobs…..I mean, how could you miss those things? I don’t remember them last season, so either they are a gift from her record label or she was just pushing them out from the inside. Also, her dress and hairstyle made her look ten years older than she is. Maybe fifteen. It’s like Nashville decided they wanted to turn Kellie into a Brentwood soccer mom. (those of you who don’t live in Nashville, insert some ritzy suburb in for Brentwood). And her performance made me think that her and Carrie Underwood would both be completely outclassed by at least four of this season’s females.
Then it was back to business. Chris Richardson and Brandon were safe, leaving Sunjaya and AJ. Judging by Tuesday’s performances, everyone was pretty sure Sunjaya would be going home, most of all Sunjaya. But it was AJ. I’m almost sure Sunjaya bought a non-refundable plane ticket home yesterday and he was thinking of how he was going to get the show to reimburse him. Randy and Paula thought the voters were wrong, and I don’t disagree completely, but I do think Sunjaya was way worse than AJ and Nick.
Then it was the girls’ turn again. Lakisha and Haley were safe, and Ryan asked Antonella, Leslie and Jordin to come out front. Antonella was sent back, surprising pretty much everyone in the world. But once that happened, you had to know it would be Leslie. And it was. I mean, Jordin is too loveable to be sent home this early. So Leslie sang and right as the credits were rolling she changed her lyrics to “I knew I shouldn’t have done the scat thing”….pretty funny Leslie, now enjoy the rest of your career. Seriously, she’s not that bad, just kind of weird.
So Nick, AJ, Alaina and Leslie all went home tonight. We all know that despite their awful vocal ability, Sunjaya and Antonella keep getting votes, but at the end of the day no one should be surprised at the outcome tonight. Everyone that went home was vulnerable.
Another week, and now we’re down to 16. After next week we’re down to the final 12. Where is the time going? We’re all having way too much fun, aren’t we? Well, not nearly as much fun as Kellie Pickler’s boobs. See y’all next week!
